Rado releases Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition to celebrate 40 years at the Swiss Open - Yanko Design
Briefly

Rado celebrates its long-term partnership with the Swiss Open by introducing the Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition watch. This watch features a 39mm stainless steel case demonstrating Rado's material mastery. A distinctive turning bezel with a brushed plasma ceramic insert and engraved markers enhances its sporty sophistication. Tennis-themed elements incorporate a gradient dial reflecting match flow, while specific Super-LumiNova dots represent tennis scores. Powered by the Rado Calibre R763, this watch ensures reliability with an 80-hour power reserve.
The watch showcases Rado's mastery of materials in a compact 39mm stainless steel case that strikes an ideal balance between sportiness and sophistication. The polished case features a distinctive turning bezel with a brushed plasma ceramic insert, engraved with white lacquered markers and a luminous triangle at 12 o'clock.
What truly sets this timepiece apart are its clever tennis-themed elements. The ruthenium-to-white gradient dial creates a subtle visual rhythm that evokes the flow of a tennis match.
Four dark yellow Super-LumiNova dots mark the 3, 6, 8, and 12 o'clock positions, representing tennis scoring: 15, 30, 40, and game point.
Powering this limited edition is the Rado Calibre R763, a self-winding movement engineered with 25 jewels and regulated in five positions, featuring an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring.
